What buyers have to say:

"Dear Debbie Davis and Sport Equine,

On behalf of the Greater Bay Area Make-A-Wish Foundation I'd like to thank you for your profound efforts in granting Tara's wish to have a Horse. Your generous contribution of time, energy, heart and unique training experience allowed our wish dollars to go further in granting a wonderful experience to a special child. You truly went above and beyone to make this wish magical for Tara. Because of you, Tara's wish came true - far beyond her wildest dreams! You have provided Tara with memories that will last her a lifetime. Most importantly, we'd like to extend our extreme gratitude to everyone in your staff and the vetrinarians you recommended who demonstrated so much kindness and compassion towards our Wish Family. You truly have made a difference in the lives of Tara and her family!" Linda De La Torre, Program Director April 7, 2010

"We want you to know how much your generousity with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Tara have meant to Tara.  Suffice it to say, Walkabout has changed Tara's whole outlook, she loves him and working with him so much!  It is a real pleasure to see happiness in her eyes and strength in her body again.  This could not have happened without you. Walkabout is such a good match for Tara, they are growing as a pair every time she rides.  I think your insight into what he has to offer and how that was a good match for both him and Tara, has really set them in the right direction.  You would be so happy to see how well they work together these days.  She looks so strong and solid on him, and is working hard preparing him for USPC Western Championships First Level Dressage, we're hoping you might be around for that event.  Everyone comments how beautiful he is, what great motion he has, and how good she looks on him.  Not only that, he so gentle and so obviously loves her (and she loves him), they are a great pair. I want you to know that from the first time we spoke, I could tell that you really care about your horses, what they have to offer, and what we were looking for.  Once you found out about Tara's battle with cancer and chemotherapy, and that we were looking for someone willing to work with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, your heartfelt caring made everyone involved feel good.  All the effort you put out making this happen is truly appreciated.  Not only did you juggle veterinarians, but your loan of equipment to get started with a larger horse than our last one really saved the day."

 "Hi Debbie, I don‚t know how I can ever thank you enough for Walkabout. He is more than I had ever hoped for, he is so funny and loveable, and unbelievably calm.  We are quickly becoming a great team and he exceeds my expectations every time we ride. He is so trusting of me, and so willing to learn. He is truly a dream to work with.  We are going to be competing at First Level this summer, and I can‚t wait! He is so athletic, everybody comments on what an exceptional mover he is. We are such a perfect match; you really have made my wish come true. You have done so much to help me, without all your generosity none of this would be possible. I am so grateful! I recommend you to everyone I know, you really are a wonderful person, and a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much for everything you have done!" Tara Davis 5'10

 "Hi Debbie, I'm so happy with (Frenchie), the more I get to know him the better I like him and his personality.  I love riding him! His gaits are so consistent and smooth and he listens well to every que. I could not have asked for a better horse Debbie and he still has his whole life ahead of him! Thank you so much for training such great horses, I literally looked at 30 horses before I found Frenchie and he is definitely worth the search. I plan on owning him the rest of his life, just like the older horse I have now which I've owned since he was 10. When the time comes that I need another, I will definitely come to you and I recommend you to anyone else looking for the "perfect" horse." Lindsay Bogey April '10

"Debbie, I love Links a lot because he just tries his heart out! Ive only had him for a couple of weeks and he just tries to do what i want and he just is a big puppy dog.  We took him for his first cross country schooling last weekend and he exceeded our expectations." Lauren Sutkus June '10

I have only had him a day in a half and he is awsome. i love this horse and thank you very much for helping me out. He is awsome and will have a forever home with me.

"Hi Debbie, Just wanted to thank you so very much for all your help in  selling my two boys. …It has been a pleasure to deal with someone who is such a professional…
 Finding good homes for my two horses meant a lot to me and my family. Now they can continue their carriers for they are so young and have a life of accomplishments.
  Thank you so much…..Joanne Riggs" March '10

  "Dear Debbie I just want you to know that I adore Vanessa.   She is a fast learner and I truly enjoy riding her.We are doing all the training level patterns plus some other excercises.  I really love her." ~Jane Kiley 8'09

 We are super, super happy with him.  Mark had a lesson today.  It was pretty windy, and there were four other riders, all with thoroughbreds or arabians.  Stoney was a champ -- forward, but not spooky and very, very, very generous with Mark.  He's settling in nicely.  Mark's instructor rode him on Friday, the day after his arrival.  She actually wrote up a note, which began by "what a lovely boy :)...he was quite a gentleman...nice gaits, easy transitions, no spooks, nada."  ~Tracy Murray

  "Consider D' Lizza sold! She is the horse I was looking for. She is personable, beautiful, sensative, willing and very talented. She is a joy to ride. Thank you for her.  Wendy" 

 "Debbie is a wonderful horsewoman who also happens to listen to her clients!  I was very impressed with her facilities.  From the first e-mail to my visit, Debbie was professional and supportive every step of the way.  She took an entire day to devote to me and had several horses ready for me to ride!  When I am ready to step up to a higher level horse she will be my first stop!  I highly reccommend her!" Sandra Magallanes      

 " just wanted to say thank you again for your generosity in regard to Super Image. He is really a neat horse, my daughter thinks he is soooo cool!! You were absolutely right about him, he really wants to please and he loves attention. He did really well when I rode him for the first time at home, he tries so hard and he is a fast learner. We decided to name him "CHANCE" because he has been give a chance at a new life with our family. Thank you again, it is so nice to meet "honest" people …” Steve

"I have purchased a  registered American Warmblood, 3 3/4 yrs old and absolutely amazing. His name is Brave hearts Red Barron.  He moves with this huge floating on air trot, canter, big walk.  I got him from a lady in Clovis, Debbie Davis, whom I highly recommend. I explained to her what I  wanted and my experience level she had exactly what  I was looking for.  She is very well known and does very well on her horses. A lot of people know of her and buy horses from her. In fact when I was there Suzanna Holder  from shiloh west was there looking at a horse, her client ended up buying. (Debbie) is an eventer but  knows all disipines and riders needs. Doesn;t matter what level you ride she will find the perfect match for both the horse and rider.  I strongly recommend her. ...if she doesn't have what your looking for call her because she has horses not listed, horses coming in all the time,  she'll know someone , or she will find it."  ~Brook Morrison

Don’t think I’ve forgotten to update you on Maggie.  She and I are bonding well. She is a great girl, smart and has a wonderful personality, very willing and she works hard. I just love her so much and our communication in riding is starting to happen in a more consistent manner. She is known as the princess around the barn, because she’s so pretty. Thanks again for a wonderful companion and partner.~Kathy Misak Nov '09

 "Paco is fantastic and so well trained. The process of purchasing was extremely easy, and very pleasant! Debbie was always honest, and whatever she told me was followed through and correct! Paco is everything she said he was, and has been brought up so nicely, I know he will develop into a great event horse! We are a great match..." Shira Ribibo 11'09

 Let Debbie find your partner

All of the horses available at Sport Equine are in full professional combined or cross training that focuses on classical dressage as the foundation and way of life. Debbie strongly believes that every horse regardless of breed, type or riding discipline can benefit dramatically from this form of  gymnasticisng and strength training that produces a beautiful, supple and obedient partner for any task.  At SE, horses are not sour or bored with their work because of the well rounded training approach. All horses receive the benefits of cross training variety in beautiful wide open spaces that are free of arena fencing or monotony. They aren't sheltered from distractions and things that can spook them. But are carefully desensitized and exposed to stimuli to make them brave, mentally focused and non reactive. This exposure is a huge advantage for show, performance and trail horses that owners intent to take out of the arena or backyard. Please be aware that the horses are often placed before they reach website ads or even the sales page so it's best to inquire regularly when you are actively looking. Most horses sell within a couple weeks of ads postingshortly so keep that in mind to avoid the all too common alarming dissapointment I see happen when my horses sell out from under numerous shoppers.
